This study was to examine effects of On-Line Community Assisted Small Group Peer Tutoring(OCSPT) on university students' learning strategies. To achieve the purpose, twenty-eight university students were randomly selected. Fourteen students participated in OCSPT and they were divided into small groups consisted of 2 to 5. Students in experimental group participated in OCSPT for total thirty-four hours during sixteen weeks. There is no treatment for the other fourteen students in control group. To measure students' learning strategies, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) shorts has been used. The result revealed that students in experimental group showed higher possession than control group in resource-management strategy(p<.05). However, there were no significant difference between both groups in cognitive and motivative strategies.

This study used a posttest control group design and to find out differences between students' self-regulated learning strategies in traditional and non-traditional classroom. To this end, 131 first year university students within the experimental and control groups took part in the study. While ICT-based approach was used as the main medium of instruction in the experimental group, in the control group the paper-based traditional method was used. A survey adapted from Davaanyam [Davaanyam, T. (2013). The structural relationships among Mongolian students' attitudes toward mathematics, motivational beliefs, self-regulated learning strategies, and mathematics achievement. Ph. D. Dissertation. Jeonju, Jeonbuk, Korea: Chonbuk National Unversity.] was used to gather the data. The results of the study indicated a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in regard with their self-regulated learning. That is to say, the experimental group taught through ICT tools acquired higher levels of self-regulation as compared with the control group instructed through the traditional teaching method.

In this paper, we propose a new type of evolution strategies combined with reinforcement learning. We use the variances of fitness occurred by mutation to make the reinforcement signals which estimate and control the step length of mutation. With this proposed method, the convergence rate is improved. Also, we use cauchy distributed mutation to increase global convergence faculty. Cauchy distributed mutation is more likely to escape from a local minimum or move away from a plateau. After an outline of the history of evolution strategies, it is explained how evolution strategies can be combined with the reinforcement learning, named reinforcement evolution strategies. The performance of proposed method will be estimated by comparison with conventional evolution strategies on several test problems.

The purpose of this study was to explore college students' use of learning strategies in a flipped learning class, and to examine the students' use of learning strategies in relation to their achievement levels. The participants were 33 college students who took an introduction to English education course. The study used three data collection procedures: (1) students' performance score; (2) a pre-and post-survey of student learning strategies; (3) a survey of student perception towards the flipped learning experience. Data were analyzed by using paired samples t-test and ANOVA. Results showed that the students used different learning strategies in the beginning and the end of the course, depending on their achievement levels. In particular, significant differences were found among three groups in terms of time management, concentration, selecting main idea, self-testing, and test strategies. The result indicates that learning strategies can be effectively trained and developed in the flipped learning environment with the consideration of students' levels.

In this paper I present the teaching strategies and methods of programming education based on the learning style which teachers can apply it to their class on condition that learning style can classify their students' preferences about learning strategies and methods. Recent related researches that prove the differences about student's specific abilities based on their learning styles could never help teachers design and do their teaching of programming in the class. Therefore this study about teaching strategies and methods of programming education will be necessarily. I propose the teaching strategies and methods of programming education based on the learning styles as a results of questionnaire to some professors of computer science education in university. Then, I design and do programming education in the experimental class in order to verify the availability of the proposed teaching strategies and methods. After teaching in class, I evaluate the statistical results of students' achievement test of programming. This study has some restrictions about small number of class and periods of teaching programming, but it will be a good case study about teaching strategies and methods of programming education based on the learning style.

The purpose of this study is to investigate temperament by MBTI personality types, learning styles and learning strategies in nursing students. The subjects of this study were 245 nursing students. The data were collected structured questionnaire including MBTI test, 42-items of learning styles and 25-items of learning strategies. According to correspondence with their ideas, the subjects were completed self reported items of 1-6points scale. According to the results, the highest personality type in subjects was ESFJ and the highest personality temperament type was SJ. The study results showed that there were significant difference among surface type, depth-type and performance-type by analyzing learning styles to each personality temperament. Learning strategies by personality temperament also were significant difference in a demonstration, elaboration, organization, and higher cognition. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop and apply appropriate learning method and learning strategies for the individual.

The study examined whether the relation between mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics achievement was partially mediated by the learning strategies, using latent growth model analyses. It was also examined the auto-regressive, cross-lagged (ARCL) panel model for testing the stability and change in the relation of mathematics self-efficacy and learning strategy over time. The study analyzed the first-year to the third-year data of the Korean Educational Longitudinal Survey (KELS). The result of ARCL panel model analysis showed that earlier mathematics self-efficacy could predict later learning strategy use. There were linear trends in mathematics self-efficacy, learning strategy, and mathematics achievement. Specifically, mathematics achievement was increased over the three time points, whereas mathematics self-efficacy and learning strategies were significantly decreased. In the analyses of latent growth models, the mediating effects of learning strategies were overall supported. That is, both of initial status and change rate of rehearsal strategy partially mediated the relation of mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics achievement. However, in elaboration and meta-cognitive strategies, only the initial status of each variable showed the indirect relationship.

The purpose of this study was to understand language learning strategies use, language learning beliefs, and listening achievement of Korean EFL learners. The participants was sixty-nine university students who enrolled in blended learning classes for English listening. Data was collected and analyzed to see if there were any differences in strategies and beliefs between students who improved their listening test score and those who did not. The results showed that students showing improvement at the post-test used more language learning strategies and had a high level of motivation. Statistically significant correlation was found between motivation and strategies such as cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies.

Types of motivation for self-determination studied in the current research included intrinsic motivation (IM) to know, IM to accomplish, IM to experience stimulation; external, introjected, identified regulation; and amotivation as related to children's self-regulated learning strategies (use of cognitive strategy and self-regulation). The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (Pintrich & DeGroot, 1990) and the Academic Motivation Scale (Vallerand et al., 1992, 1993) were administered to 123 $5^{th}$ graders (63 girls, 60 boys). Data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation, multiple regression, and canonical correlation analysis. Results indicated that IM to accomplish, IM to know, and identified regulation positively and amotivation negatively affected self-regulated learning strategies. IM to accomplish and IM to know positively and amotivation negatively contributed to use of cognitive strategy and self-regulation.
